Welcome to Vail

Tag Archives: Rocky Mountains Hiking

Just recently I took a hike up to Deluge lake with a few of my friends around town. It was a really awesome hike with plenty of great views. Early on I was a bit nervous because it took almost 45 minutes to really lose site of the highway (which when you’re hiking is not the view you expect). However, once we rounded a mountain side and started up the valley towards the lake I knew that the hike was well worth it. It was the kind of mountain valley you would see in a movie with green fields, white rocks, and Deluge Creek running down the middle. Although it was a more difficult hike, it was well worth the trip in the end. Definitely wait until July or later to do this trail as when we tried in early June we were stopped about halfway by the 4ft of remaining snow.

David & Jan Lee first visited the Antlers 22 years ago. The following Christmas they decided that the perfect gift would be to share that experience with their family and every year since have given each member of their family a week-long vacation and family reunion in Vail. We are very excited to have the David Lee Family back for their 21st Vail reunion at the Antlers. Photo from a couple of years ago and one from this week. They look like they are having a little more fun this year, don't they? ... See MoreSee Less
